To make a fansub

[Deadfire]

The other day when most people were enjoying their holiday meals and such, the dark abyss know as the “IRC channel” had a few things to think about. During the period of reflecting at what losers we were to be there that night. However during that period a thought was touched on and hammered into a plan.

We were to create a fansub group.

What we got so far is most positions of some staff and a possible project:

Distro - DO
QC - Yukimura, Arcness, Nasphreak29
Timer – Deadfire
Editor – mage

If you guys think I’m sarcastic right now I’m not. This is a project they are willing to commit to. However currently we are missing a translator, encoder and a typesetter. If anyone is skilled in this or knows of anyone interested in this get on IRC and talk to DO (Dragonoutlaw) or myself. That or just pm me about it

The series we are thinking of doing is Devil May Cry. (We picked a realistic goal as well as one we would all like)

Suggestions, comments, and hell even insults would be nice

I always thought it'd be a great idea to create a fansub group that strictly does parodies. No foreign language skills needed!

[Board of Command]

As ridiculous as that sounds, I like it! Everything top-notch except translation.

[Psyke]

I once did my own fan subs for an Ultraman series, but it was so tedious I stopped after 3 episodes. After that I only translated and did srt files which were much easier since I can forget about typesetting, karaoke, and hard coding. My Japanese's not that good, but you don't need to know much to understand a Tokusatsu series such as Kamen Rider or Ultraman.

As for this sub group, good luck and I'd love to see a parody :P

By the way is there a Devil May Cry anime coming out? I didn't know that, but it sounds awesome.

[Yukimura]

We're not planning any parodies as of yet, that was all Bucket so we will need a translator.

[RyougaZell]

Sounds interesting.
Too bad I wouldn't fit the open positions. Gluck.

[Munsu]

Why not try and do Gin-iro no Olynsis? It's probably not that good of an anime, but I think it still deserves a fansubber. No one is doing it as far as I can see, so you can probably build a good fanbase with it. Devil May Cry will probably be oversubbed and you'll probably find most of your time and work wasted.

I don't really qualify for any of the positions, but someday I might want to learn. This is going to be a lot harder than scanlating is for the local group, so good luck.

[XanBcoo]

even insults would be nice

Oh! Oh! I can do that!

Better work on your grammar there before you start translating into English. Good thing Mage is doing the editing.

Seriously though, good luck. Sorry to say that, like xDarkMaster, I don't really qualify for any of the open positions.

A GotWoot fansubbing group sounds like an awesome idea to me. I'd like to help but I wouldn't qualify for any of the positions you have open (maybe editing since I think all you need to do is look at a Notepad file and edit away but Mage has that covered). Best of luck though! If you guys do sub Devil May Cry, I'll be sure to check it out.

Scanslating does take up a lot of time. I used to edit for Serpents-Cross for the FMA manga. I can only imagine how much time fansubbing takes up. >_>

[Board of Command]

We're still looking for:

Distro
Translator
Typesetter

Updated positions so far:

Distro - DO
QC - Yukimura, Arcness, Nasphreak29
Timer – Deadfire
Editor – mage, BoC
Encoder – BoC

[Arcn3ss]

We are currently looking for Translators and Typesetters. If you can translate Japanese to English come into IRC #gotwoot and speak to any of us there. (Same goes for Typesetting)

[Darth Zin]

Well i know a bit of everything except speaking japanese ^_^ Qualifications hmm... i can encode, do karoke subs (alot better for me in After Effects than in SSA.) PS im a Medusa fan and a substation alpha terrorist. For encoding wise i use vdub or mod (depends on the mood ^_^) and i use avisynth for my encoding enhancements. I can't turn vhs into gold, but silver is as close as i can get ^_^ Some other progs i can handle are Premiere and Photoshop

Awesome.

Come into our Rizon Channel #Proxy-Fansubs

EDIT!:
( Also feel free to come into #gotwoot on irc.gotwoot.net)

Gotwoot's channel is on its OWN server for those who dont know :P Not Rizon. Proxy-Fansubs is on rizon tho.

[Board of Command]

Get in the channel NOW.

#proxy-fansubs at Rizon.

[UChessmaster]

i can... translate from english to spanish = D

[Assassin]

can i help?? plz pretty plz with cheery on top!

[Assertn]

Translators are always the hardest position to fill.
I think we used to have yallo for that spot back in the revquest days.

[Munsu]

yallo was timer and editor.

[samsonlonghair]

I wish I could help out, but I can barely muster enough thought to speak one language.

If you need video editors, I can do that just fine. I know Final Cut pro very well, but I don't know what use you might have for that. I've never used any video software specifically to subtitle a whole show. I guess I could give it a try if you run short on manpower.

Here's a thought: If you can't find a translator, why not just volunteer your time to help AonE?

Edit: grammar
